Publisher's Description
WorldFlash allows you to sit back and relax while it gently pulls in complete coverage of the global news unobtrusively onto your desktop. Headlines scroll on the top or bottom of your screen. Get the latest news as you prepare presentations, work on spreadsheets, and generally function in the real world. Personalize the software to deliver information from your list of sources, set your chosen topics, select the stocks you wish to follow, activate the vocal alert system to track chosen key-phrases, customize your bandwidth usage, select Email accounts to receive and screen new messages, select your default search engine so you can do research via the Web, choose your fonts, etc.

This software is a joke because of its subscription model. They claim to provide a service because the news feeds need parsing, and that may have had some truth to it when this product was introduced in the prior century, but these days every site worth using has an RSS feed.
Alternatives such as Guru News Ticker and RSScrawler do not make use of the idiotic--and greedy--subscription model.

I tried them all, and WorldFlash is the only news ticker application I could stand. I am running it as a flat, 2-tier ticker, white text on a black background, on a black desktop. It blends right in unobtrusively, and works great. WorldFlash support is very responsive, not that you'll need it. Do note that when you buy WorldFlash, you're not just paying for software, you're paying for a service (ticker and news source updates, and so forth). So you will have to renew every two years (a 20% discount is offered).
